Revealing information on private citizens is transparency?
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agoIf they're bad citizens, yes?
- _-david-_ 4y agoThey appear to have posted people's information who are lawful gun owners. That isn't bad citizens unless you think gun ownership means you are a bad citizen?
- AdamJacobMuller 4y agomy comment was facetious. I don't think lawful gun owners are bad people, but, I'm not sure the california AG shares my opinion.
- woodruffw 4y agoAbsent further information, it's not clear that anything novel was revealed: it's likely this was already public information, and that the AG has merely lowered the bar to (automatically) accessing it.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI thought that folks like judges were typically exempt from having things like their addresses released via FOIA. The CCW rejection reasons also include potential medical information.
- the_only_law 4y agoDoesn't this already happen with voter registration? I've managed to reconnect with old family that way. They just dump their name, address, and party affiliation on the internet.
- _-david-_ 4y agoNot sure. It isn't great to do this regardless. Some people are hiding from abusive people for example.
